Select an Installation Type

You can select from one of the following three installation types: New, Custom, or Web Tier.

1. Select the installation type.
   • New

     Performing a new installation is the simplest way to deploy BusinessObjects Enterprise because all the required components are installed by default onto one computer.

   • Custom or Expand

     The custom installation allows you to select the components to install. You can perform a custom installation if you plan to use BusinessObjects Enterprise in a distributed environment. This installation is recommended for advanced users.

   • Install Web Tier features

     Perform a web applications installation if you want to install web application server components. This option installs the Web application components only. This option is useful for a distributed deployment.

   • You can deselect Enable servers after installation. This action prevents communication between the CMS and other servers after the installation is complete. For more information about starting, stopping, disabling, and enabling servers, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator’s Guide.
2. Press Enter.
